Connect the clock cable to the 12.5 GHz Clock In connector (8 in-lbs torque). 2. Connect the trigger cable to the To Master Trigger connector. 3.
Page 32 Install your instrument If powering off a multi-instrument system, power off the master first. Multi-instrument power on During the start-up process the instrument checks to see if instruments are connected in a Multi-instrument configuration. If instruments are not connected, the instrument powers up in stand-alone mode. If instruments are connected, the configuration is validated. If the configuration is not valid, guidance is provided to help you create a valid configuration.

Page 68 Acquisition Acquisition concepts Acquisition hardware Before a signal is displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Each channel has a dedicated input amplifier and digitizer. Each channel produces a stream of digital data from which the instrument extracts waveform records. Sampling process Acquisition is the process of sampling an analog signal, converting it into digital data, and assembling it into a waveform record, which is then stored in acquisition memory.
Page 69 Acquisition Real-time sampling In real-time sampling, the instrument digitizes all of the points it acquires using one trigger event. Use real-time sampling to capture single-shot or transient events. Interpolated real-time sampling In interpolated real-time sampling, the instrument digitizes all of the points it acquires using one trigger event. If the instrument cannot acquire enough samples for a complete waveform at the maximum real-time sample rate, it interpolates.
Page 70 Acquisition Interpolation Your instrument can interpolate between the samples it acquires when it does not have all of the actual samples it needs to fill the waveform record. Linear interpolation computes record points between actual acquired samples by using a straight line fit. Sin(x)/x interpolation computes record points using a curve fit between the actual values acquired.
Page 71 Acquisition Acquisition mode Waveform Database mode is a three-dimensional accumulation of source waveform data over several acquisitions. In addition to amplitude and timing information, the database includes a count of the number of times a specific waveform point (time and amplitude) was acquired.
Page 72 Acquisition 3. For Average or Envelope acquisition modes, click the # of Wfms control, and then set the number of waveforms with the multipurpose knob. For WfmDB mode, click the Samples control, and then set the number of samples with the multipurpose knob. Quick tip •...
Page 73 Acquisition Selecting the horizontal mode Your instrument has three horizontal modes. Automatic is the default mode. Select the horizontal mode that works best for your test setup. To set the horizontal mode, select Horiz/Acq > Horizontal/Acquisition Setup to display the horizontal control window. Choose one of the modes described below.
Page 74 Acquisition In Manual mode you can set the Sample Rate and Record Length. Horizontal Scale is a dependent variable calculated from the sample rate and record length. The Horizontal Scale knob changes record length in manual mode. All three modes interact with sample rate, scale, and record length as shown. The horizontal line is the maximum real-time sample rate. Each staircase shows that as you increase the scale, the sample rate must decrease when either the maximum record length or the record length limit you set is reached.
Page 75 Acquisition 2. Find glitches, transients, or other random events. When you have identified an anomaly, set the trigger system up to look for it. See Capturing intermittent anomalies on page 177. Quick tips • To optimize for capturing details or rare events, select Horiz/Acq > Horizontal/Acquisition Setup > Acquisition> Fast Acq, and then select Optimize For Capturing Details or Capturing rare events.
Page 76 Acquisition 3. Click Digital Filters (DSP) Enabled to turn the enhanced bandwidth on. You must set the sample rate correctly to enable DSP. 4. To force a constant sample rate that enables DSP filters, check Force Constant Sample Rate. Note: If not already set, selecting Constant Sample rate sets the horizontal mode to constant sample rate, sets the sample rate to allow DSP, and selects a DSP bandwidth.

Page 84 Acquisition Using fastframe mode FastFrame allows you to capture many trigger events as single records in a larger record, and then view and measure each record individually. Time stamps display the absolute trigger time for a specific frame and the relative time between triggers of two specified frames.
Page 85 Acquisition 4. Select Frame Size and # of Events Frames. Then use the multipurpose knobs to set each one. Number of frames represents the number of trigger events that are captured. Frame size is the number of samples that are stored with each trigger event (or frame). The number of frames is reduced if there is insufficient memory to store all the records.
Page 86 Acquisition • If you select an Average Summary Frame, you can set Math functions (Averaging) to apply to All Frames or have it apply to Only the Summary Frame. If the summary data is of primary interest, selecting Summary Frame Only can substantially improve system throughput.
Page 87 Acquisition Frame Finder searches for and displays a different frame. 5. If the anomaly you are looking for is not in the displayed frame, push No. Frame Finder searches for another different frame. 6. If the anomaly you are looking for is in the displayed frame, push Yes. 7.
Page 88 Pinpoint triggers Pinpoint triggers The Pinpoint trigger system comes with advanced trigger types that are usable on both A and B triggers, and it can reset the trigger sequence if the B event does not occur after a specific number of events or a specific time. Pinpoint triggers support capture of events based on the most complex trigger event or sequence of trigger events.
Page 89 Pinpoint triggers Horizontal position Horizontal position defines where the trigger occurs on the waveform record. It lets you choose how much the instrument acquires before and after the trigger event. The part of the record that occurs before the trigger is the pretrigger part. The part that occurs after the trigger is the posttrigger part.
Page 90 Pinpoint triggers 3. To select one of the other trigger types, select a trigger type directly from the Trig menu. 4. Complete the trigger setup using the controls displayed for the trigger type. The controls to set up the trigger vary depending on the trigger type, instrument model, and options.

Page 98 Pinpoint triggers Quick tips • B-trigger delay time and horizontal delay time are independent functions. When you establish a trigger condition using either the A trigger alone or the A and B triggers together, you can also use horizontal delay to delay the acquisition by an additional amount. Correcting trigger position Trigger position correction corrects for differences in the data path and the trigger path to more accurately place the trigger on the displayed waveform.
